It is probable that several portions of York
county, interested in the scheme, will be repre-
scented in the meeting to be held in Charlotte
tomorrow in the interest of the Roanoke Kali
road, the proposed route of which, from Char
lotte south, is to Augusta, Ga, through York
and Union counties. A meeting of the local
committee, appointed to perfect arrangements
for the meeting, was held in Charlotte on Mon
day. All arrangements for the meeting were
perfected and forty-six prominent citizens, in
Guiding Mayor Mcdowell, were appointed as
additional committeeman.
Col. Frank Coke, President of the Charleston,
Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad; Col. r. A.
Johnson, General Manager; Senator M. c.
Butler and W.. L. Roddey, Directors; Mai. j.
F. Hart, Attorney; Col. A. Urquhart, repre-
sentative; and s.. Badger, Col. Coxe's private
secretary, met in Charlotte on Monday nightto
consummate important business in connection
with the road.
Express service has been established on the
completed portion of the c., c. ~ G. Road be-
tween Shelby and Rutherfordton.
With the appearance Of sunshine yesterday
morning preparations were made for resuming
work on the grading in this vicinity, which,
owing to the continued rains, has been suspend
ed for about two weeks.
Mr.. G. H. Weld, who has been pleasantly and
favorably known all along the line as inspector
of timber, has resigned that position for the
purpose of taking a locomotive at the Camden
end of the road, where track laying will be
commenced in q few days. Mr.. Weld is an
experienced engineer, having been employed
in that capacity for a number of years on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. He will be sue
ceeded as inspector by Mr.. J. f. Allen, who is
also favorably known to our people, having
been connected with the road since the begin
ming of work upon it.
Mr.. W.. G. McIntire, Auditor Of all the roads
operated by the Massachusetts and Southern
Construction Company, whose office is in New
York, arrived here last Thursday evening and
left for Blacks on Friday morning. Having
attended the meeting of directors in Columbia
last week, he availed himself Of the opportu-
nifty to visit several points on the line of the
road, it being his first trip south.
The trestle across the Pinckney road, two
miles southwest Of town, is finished, and be-
sides the work progressing on Kings Creek
and Manning Creek t~restle, which are near
each other, Capt. Lewis is also working on the
trestle across Turkey Creek. This crosses the
stream near Mr.. S. NJ. SCOTS mill. The ap-
proaches by the wagon road to the Pinckney
road trestle will be improved. by the railroad
company as early as possible, by grading down
the hill on the south side, Strengthening the
| curve and Matchmaking for some distance on
| either side of the trestle. We have been in
formed that this would have been done before
now had the weather permitted.

THE coIoRED ODD FELLOWS.

District Lodge No. Is, Of the "Grand United
Order of Odd Fellows closed its annual ses-
sion in this place last Friday. About sixty
delegates were present, representing forty-nine
lodges in this State. The order is in a flourish
ing condition, as the following statistics show
Number of lodges, so; Households of Ruth, 10
Past Masters Chapters, 8; total number OF
members, 1850 financial members, LILO; P
N. F.'s, 453 initiated 129. The report also
shows the following: Members buried, 81

which UNCONVENTIONAL religion and politics are
not discussed.

the principal streets in procession, presenting
an imposing appearance in their rich and snowy
regalia.

INQUEST.

ave Barnhill, a negro recently in the EN-.
ployment of Mr.. Lewis Stacy, near Clover,
died last Saturday night at his own home un
der circumstances leading to the suspicion
that he had been poisoned ; and yesterday his
widow made affidavit before Trial Justice Bell
that she had reasons for believing that his
death was the result of poison feloniously adj
ministered. Accordingly, the coroner pro-
ceeded this morning to the grave of the deceas-
ed, who was buried in a negro burying ground
on Mr.. Giles Ormand's land, and will have the
body exhumed and hold an inquest to-day.
We understand his widow suspicious one'or
more negroes in the neighborhood with having
administered the poison.

GENERAL HousToN s FREEDOM FROM
PREJUDICE. When Gen Sam Hous-
ton was Governor Of Texas he was
very active and persistent in causing
the prosecution Of defaulting officer
$50 much SO, indeed, that the friends
Of the accused raised the cry of prose-
cution. The Governor, speaking Of
this TO a company Of gentlemen, ho3t-
ed the idea thai ..he was preiudiced
against the defaulter, declared that
he had no other motive than the en-
forcement Of the laws and said that
he should probably have the oppor-
tunity Of convincing the public that
he had no feeling Of personal animosl-
ty against the man The evidence
against bin will be 30 overwhelming
that any grand jury will find a true
bill of indictment, said the General,
and no petit jury in the world can
fail to convict the criminal on such
evidence. Then, when found guilty
and sentenced, he will change his
tune, and he, and his campaigning
friends for him, will appeal to me for
Executive clemenoy. Then will be
my time to show that have no prelu.

A case recently occurred in Cleye.
land, Ohio, which curiously illustrates
the annoyances to which witnesses
and jurymen are exposed when the
convenience Of counsel comes to BE-
made the chief consideration. In this
instance counsel in the case went home
for a few days rest, leaving the wit
nesses and jury to do as they best
could. 1t often happens that both
witnesses and iurymen are put to con-
siderable annoyance and expense IN
attending court under a peremptory
summons, only to End that the case
in which they were called has been
adjourned or otherwise disposed Of
in a manner tocompel their attendance
day after day till the counsel engaged
are ready TO deal with the issue. The
courts Of the country sadly need a
standing rule discbarging from atten-
dance the witnesses and jurynsn IN
any case not brought up by counsel al

BOLAN's RESIGNATION.

The Tucson Star seems to be making an effort to spread feel ing that the resignation of Hon. P. J. Bolan had some political sig nificance, or that be had arrayed himself against the Territorial administration. No better evi- dence to the contrary could be furnished than the following, which is the substance of an in terview held with him by report CT of the Phenix Gazette. MT. Bolan might, by a difference of opinion with his associates, find it necessary, through feeling of self-respect, to resign his position on the Territorial Board of Equal ization, but we feel certain that he is too good a Democrat to allow any personal feeling consequent upon these differences to influence him against the present efficient administration. His action has been manly in the extreme so far. Finding that his opinions regard ing assessments were not shared by the majority of the board, and honestly believing that the major ity of the board were not acting for the best interests of the Terri tory, he rendered his resignation, and without any prejudice toward his associates. We quote his own words. Being asked by the re porter whether his action had any political significance, he said: 'Most assuredly not, 1t simply happened in this way: After l found out to my to my satisfac- ton that myself and the other members of the board could not act harmoniously on the matter of cattle valuations thoroughout the Territory, and believing that they would not agree with me in my eff forts to determine whether or not a fair assessment as to numbers
 had been made. l came to the i'm mediate conclusion that it was not only my privilege, but my duty to resign. If had not the right to inquire into the assessment and valuation of a general class of property, then 1 had no business there, for 1 could not properly dis charge my duty as l understood it, and acting on my honest convic- tions l rendered my resignation, which was accepted after the la bors of the board were concluded. There Was no influence brought to
The Clifton clarion., 1887-08-31

The Grand Army Record, pa- per published at Boston in the in- terest of the Union soldiers of the late war, makes a manly defense of President Cleveland in response to certain demogogic resolutions of the late Ohio Republican con- vention, which condemned the President for his veto of pension bills. Speaking for the veteran soldiers of Massachusetts, the Re cord "condemns and denounces this groveling and hypocritical method of fishing for the soldier vote," and reminds veterans that "the same dose of sophistry has been prescribed for them year after year for the last quarter of a century" The Record follows up its told condemnation of the Ohio assault upon Mir. Cleveland by a resume of the great work which has been done for disabled soldiers under his administration, and con- cludes that, besides largely in creasing the pension list, the pres ent administration eau boast of more Union veterans in its employ than ever before"
